Yeah, it was back in 2001 when my cousin had returned from US. That was the first time when someone close to me had been to the land of dreams. I still recall US-chocolates and pics were the major attention for us to visit my aunt that summer. Aunt had placed all the albums in the showcase, in the hall to splash the success of her son all over the people visiting her.
I keenly gazed through each photograph. Most of the pics included my bro in front of twin towers, him near some huge fountains ,some fancy colorful buildings, him in Madame Tussuad, flowery streets, fruity trees etc etc. It caught all our attention as it was not even a distant distant parallel to what we had in Hubli and Belgaum which were the only cities I had spent my time most in. It was different in the sense: Its so clean and scenic; Even the trees around the roads seems to be trimmed to shape and filled with all the colors; Not just the place but the people around were also so beautiful; Each skyscraper had its own interesting shape; The roads were perfect with plush lawns around them; The climate seemed pleasant in all the seasons; Yeah it was a dreamland, an immaculate land.
Years passed by and US became one of the most banal things with most of my friends been there at least once. And me happily working in Bangalore. I love this city because its so full of life, lot of places to hangout, all my friends are here, the climate is so great and a great work environment. It was just perfect when a new twist in the story, dreamland's back in the picture.
Yeah I am ecstatic, its one hell of a dream come true!!! But will miss this city which gave me so much. And when i will be back the next time it will have changed. As Sheldon from "The Big Bang Theory" says 'Everyone says change is good but it brings new things'.
A nice song. Check it out.
